Yes, the famous country music singers have a home in my town of Tifton, Georgia. Trisha has relatives here, and her mom lived here until 2009, when she died. I think the celebrities enjoy the small town life they can lead here.

Trisha and Garth are often seen in the local Harvey’s Supermarket. Many local residents have had their photographs taken with one or both of the artists. I haven’t seen them up close, but I did see the back of Garth’s head one day in the store. He was leaving as we were entering, and everyone was all abuzz about Brooks’ presence.

Yearwood has performed at local charity events to help raise money for worthy causes. From what I hear, they’re good neighbors and act just like regular folks when they’re in town.

I'm retired from teaching British literature and writing skills. I'm currently a freelance writer. I'm married and have three adult daughters and nine wonderful grandchildren. I love dogs, horses, music, the beach,... read more

I heard about them staying there a while after Trisha's mom passed away. Everyone on facebook was going on and on about how they saw them *L* Garth was seen several times at the local donut shop!

Don't forget we have another celebrity from our small town. Country singer, Kip Moore, is also from our town. And although he's not really famous (YET) Travis Pratt also is from there. He was on America's Got Talent (although he didn't make it to the live show) Most remember him because he asked his g/f to marry him on the show. She said Yes! Wish he had made it to the live shows. He is an awesome opera singer. I went to school with both of them!
